Q

What does critical angle of attack mean?

A

he critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient. This is also called the “stall angle of attack”. … At the critical angle of attack, upper surface flow is more separated and the airfoil or wing is producing its maximum lift coefficient.

Q

Define draft:

A

The draft or draught of a ship’s hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel), with the thickness of the hull included; in the case of not being included the draft outline would be obtained. Draft determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate.
